BERLIN, Feb. 21-10 p. m.-The elections
in this city have resulted unfavorably for all
the government candidates. In four OF the
six divisions second ballots will be necessary,
but in each of these divisions the anti
Sepiennate candidate has at present a ma
ioriiy. In the first division Klotz. new Ger
man Liberal has I, 7,SS2, and ZedliiZ Neukirch,
Septennist zoos. a second ballot is neces-
sary. In the second division, Virchow, new
German Liberal, received 16,439, and, Wolff,
Septennist, 16, los; another ballot is neces-
sary. In the third division, Munckel. new Ger
man Liberal, received 10, 400, and Christensen
Socialist, 9,OS0; there will be another ballot.
In the fourth division it is reported that the
Socialist Singer is elected, but the official re-
turns from the division have not yet been
received. In the Fifth District Baumbach,
new German Liberal, has 20,O76 and Major
Blume, Septennist, 1909. In the sixth di-
vision, Hazenclever, Socialist, is elected by
large majority over Grelling, new German
Liberal, and Holtz, SeptenDist.
An analysis of the polling shows that to-
days contest was very stubborn. As the
night advanced the excitement became in
tense. Thousands of people surrounded the
newspaper offices awaiting special editions
giving returns. 1t is stated that Singer and
Hasclever have each over 1900 majority in
this city.
Second ballots are necessary in Koenigs-
berg, Elberfeld, Breslau, Lubbock, Dresden,
Allstadt, Frankfort, Dantzic, Stettin, Co
logne and Munich. Septennists are elected
in Bremen, Leipsic and Brunswick. The
Socialist organization has been most conf
plete. Socialist electors were brought to the
polls in battalions. Two Socialists are re-
turned for Breslau. Richer is returned for
Hagen.
Prince Bismarck, on appearing at his
polling station in the second division of this
city, was greeted with a storm of cheers.

is probable that Berlin will be represented
by three new German Liberals and the three
Socialists.
Ia Strasburg Kable Centerist received
S.253 and Petrie 6,60S. Nachapple returns a
Centenst and Nuremberg returns Socialist.
The net result of the Berlin voting is as fol-
lows: Socialist, 90,l07, gain of 22,O00i
Septennist, 69S7S; New German Liberal,
60, SS4. The government party have gained
Is, 600 votes and the New German Liberals
have lost 5, 200. The returns from the prev
inces show losses by the new German
Liberals. Herr Richter's organ, the
Freisinnige Zeitung, consoles the party
by declaring that the Socialists profted by
Radical disasters. This, however, is not ex-
actly the case. Combined, the Conservative
and National Liberal supporters o. the sep
tennate secured many seats, though there is
no clear prospect of their having a working
majority, as the centrists seem to have voted
in undiminlshed numbers. Forckenbeck,
Bsmbe1ger, Stauffenberg and General Won
% Ike are reelected.
Meltz elected ADtern the anti-German.
Siegen returned StOcker. A feature of the
elections is the unusual number of second
ballots necessary, a fact which proves the
closeness of the contests The result in
Hsmburg is triumph for the Social Demo
Gratis, two of whose candidates are returned
by large maiorities. In the third Hamburg
4l1a a,alf fAofn 20 al faH
and second ballot is necessary.
Corrected returns from the second Berlin
division show that Wolff, Septennist, re-
ceived 10 900 votes; Virchow, New German
Liberal, is, 500, and the Socialist candidate
14,6S9. The prospects of the success of the
Septennists are good.
The formidable increase in the number of
Socialists throughout the Empire is premi-
nent fact. During the day all the approaches
to the palaces of Emperor William,
Crown Prince Frederick William and Prince
Bismarck were barred by police.
